Surprise! :magic:

 

It’s been well over two years since the last Movie Forum Song Contest… so it is definitely overdue a return to BuzzJack!

 

It was way back in 2021 I ran the last one of these, and coming out on top was Bal with his blockbuster anthem by Lorde from the movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1;

Having passed up his chance to host this contest, I have offered to once again, and this time, I’ve decided we will celebrate some of the best music by from musicals made into movies over the years, particularly highlighting lesser known songs from such films. A musical is defined as "a genre of film and television that incorporates into the narrative songs sung by the characters."

 

For reference, here is a list of the Top 100 Greatest Musicals on IMDb which may help you make your choice;

 

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000071646/

 

Here are some guidelines to assist in making your choices for this contest;

  • 1. A song must not have reached the Top 20 in the UK chart.

2. An artist must not currently have an Artist Forum on BuzzJack.

3. A song must not have been entered into a Movie Forum Song Contest previously.

4. An artist will only get one entry per contest, so first come first served.

5. A movie will only get one entry per contest, so first come first served.

6. Vetoes may be given for any song that we feel is giving other songs an unfair advantage.

Confirmations must be sent using the Google Form located here, no later than Thursday 4th January 2024 at 23:59 GMT. Please include the names of the artists, the song title, the musical that the song is taken from, and a link to a YouTube video. Once approved by the moderators, the confirmed list of entries will be posted soon after.

 

Happy searching! ^_^

I have one from a film which got adapted into a musical :kink: Will research :magic:
Sent a HUGE tune from a very underrated musical!

oh my god one of my favourite musicals is being adapted into a movie but it isn't out yet so the only soundtrack available is from the actual musical which is a different cast -_-

 

I'll need to have a think x

 

*Edit - I've sent you a PM Wardy, I'll reconfirm if it's not allowed

I tried replying but you have disabled me from messaging you still. :lol:

 

I have kindly asked another BuzzJack member to send my reply back to you. ^_^

Just for clarity... are we including films of stage shows? (i.e. 'Hamilton' & 'Waitress' etc..) or are you wanting it to be specifically a movie musical in the traditional sense? (i.e. the 'Dear Evan Hansen' movie from 2021 and not the stage show)

I hadn’t thought of that, but yes, if you think it would be good to include for variety then I’m all for it, it gives people more scope to choose from.

I have entered a song from a musical that kinda felt like it flew under the radar a little due to it being a streaming release during the pandemic. The movie is SO good and the soundtrack is amaze!

 

EDIT: LOL! Maybe not! :o

I have reconfirmed!

 

I adore this song. But I don't want to be as "obvious" as this choice. So I will look through the week for another entry I would be happy to send. But I want to confirm something in case I forgot!

You’re good for that reconfirmation! :D

I think I came last or 2nd from last in both of the previous editions of this so can't really get any worse :kink:

 

No idea what to send for this so I'll have to do some digging x

5 participants so far, let’s get some more please!

Still the same, and this would not be enough participants for the contest to go ahead, so please can you submit an entry before the deadline which is tomorrow! ;)

Less than 12 hours to go and still not enough participants to warrant a song contest, so unless numbers pick up quickly I’m afraid we will have to cancel this event.
I think I'll give a shot. This might only be my possible entry from the theme but if it's ineligible, I'm sorry to say I will be out of the contest. I'm quite lacking in musical film knowledge. :(
